Skeewiff feat. Alan Hawkshaw - Triumph Stag [Remaster]

We have always been massive fans of Shirley Ellis, so this cover was a no brainer. Although we recorded it in 2001 under the name "Da Muttz", it wasn’t until subsequent mixes in 2003 that this track made it out onto vinyl to become one of our best selling EPs to date. 

& of course.. Big kisses, hugs and thank-yous to the original & perennial skee-girl, the wonderful Charlise Rookwood! (who has just this morning joined the cloud!! go follow https://soundcloud.com/charlise-rookwood)

Born from a love of Big Band, 60s Psychedelics and Breaks. What more can be said? The... Spider!!

& a big bear hug to the one and only, utterly delectable Tiu de Haan who graces this track with her exotic saucy jazz scats and animal noises.. rrrrraawl

is it only me that finds "saucy jazz scat" a bit fnar? ;)

Skeewiff feat Tiu De Haan - The Spider [Remaster]

Pre-wobble wobble. Always loved a bit of wah wah action. This track featured on the Hollywood movie "fired UP!" & even made its way onto a Volkswagen Polo Commercial in 2008 (the infamous tree falling on car ad)

This latest mix was re-mixed from scratch from the original stems. + I Cleaned up the rather wonky drum break that was originally used, as it was a little flappy.

An all time favourite Hawk track, that we simply had to cover. We sent a copy to Sir Alan himself, which got his attention, and lead to the collaboration on "Triumph Stag".

Skeewiff - I Got Soul (makes me wanna dance)

Originally a hit for the Sandpebbles in 1967, it wasn't until we heard Dusty Springfield's cover of it on wefunk radio that we were inspired us to revisit this feel-good soulful breakbeat monster. Big thanks to the http://wefunkradio.com crew for years of inspiration.. and to Dusty of course.. for such a wonderful tune in the first place :)

Skeewiff feat Charlise Rookwood - Love Power [Remaster]

We first did an edit of the original Quincy Jones Soul Bossanova to play at Nick Hollywood's "Club Montepulciano" club night. The reaction was so strong - we simply had to do a cover of our own. Definitely the largest production we had done back then, with a brass section, numerous vocalists and percussionists. 

This version is a completely brand new (analog) mix made from the original stems. The piano track (which was originally a plug in) has been replaced with a shiny new (real) Grand Piano. :D

This track was originally a duel between us and big "Les Elgart's Ja Da Cha Cha", but then the Lawyers came, so big Les left the party.

What remains is a cheeky scratchy cha cha cha in a Skeewiff style, replayed, remastered from the original stems and given a fresh edit for your listening pleasure.

This track even reached the giddy heights of a Nike advert in 2004, featuring none other than Thierry Henry (who you may remember played for the Woolwich Wanderers) as well as an all star cast of Manchester United players.
